#4 Chelsea’s deadly front three of Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Pedro wreck havoc again
Trending
Diego Costa is in the form of his life. Eden Hazard has banished the ghosts of last season and Pedro is showing us why he was bought last season in the first place. Hazard, in particular, has been given the license to roam when the top 3 tuck in. His link up play with Costa has been nothing short of phenomenal.
The Belgian’s two goals on the night were of very high quality. First, his shot from the edge of the box into the bottom corner after cutting in from the right and later a goal which was almost Lionel Messi-esque, which he had no right to score that one. He was hugging the right flank touchline, played a one-two with Pedro who back heeled it into his path, Hazard then ran with the ball at speed into the box, cut onto his left past the Everton defence and shot past Steklenberg before anyone could even react.
Diego Costa, on the other hand, continued his red-hot form after losing Lukaku to some very poor marking from a corner and Pedro added further insult to the Toffees, scoring after Hazard’s shot was saved. That made it 5.
